When everyone finally left, Mark and Jackson were exhausted. Everyone did their share with clean up but of course being the hosts they had more to do.
"Ugh, I don't think I ever want to do that again." Mark said falling on top of Jackson who's stretched out on the couch. Jackson chuckles and kisses his cute boyfriend on the forehead.
"Baby, I'm really sorry about Lisa." Mark looks at Jackson and shakes his head.
"Really if you think about it what she said or asked wasn't even that bad." Jackson sighs squeezing Mark closer.
"I know, She used to be so sweet, never had a harsh word for anyone and she picks my boyfriend to pick on. The one person I have wanted forever and will continue to want until I die." Mark's eyes sparkle with pure love for this person in front of him, the one that has the purest heart and the ability to make Mark weak in the knees just by speaking.
"You know, I think I love you a touch more everyday." Jackson smirks.
"Just a touch huh? That doesn't sound like a lot." Mark catches on to his teasing and tries to give it right back.
"Well, you will probably have to try a lot harder I guess." He says with an innocent look on his face that has Jackson's heart flipping wildly in his chest. 
He pouts playfully before flipping Mark on his back and attacking him with relentless tickles to his sides.
By the time he finishes his attack Mark is laying breathless on the floor looking up at him with happiness shining through his eyes, his cheeks rosy, forehead perspiring just enough with his hair sticking to him. It's a sight that Jackson could relive every moment of every day. Jackson can't breath, his heart is beating wildly again before he devours Marks lips in a bruising kiss that lasts until neither one can properly breath.
He finally gets off of Mark and offers a hand to help him stand. He kisses him hard again and helps him to wrap his legs around himself before carrying him off to bed to make love to him again. It's only been a few times and yet he feels like each time is the first and is sure it will be that way forever.

After their tiring night they were more than happy to sleep in but unfortunately fate had other plans.
Jackson woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing, he tried to hurry to the door as to not wake Mark who just stirred a little before Jackson left the room. He didn't even realize the state he was in until he opened the door and came face to face with Mark's sister. As soon as she started looking him over head to toe, with a look he couldn't quite decipher he realized his messy hair, no shirt, baggy sweat pants looking ass just gave away everything that Mark was not ready to tell her. He gulped, now looking at his bare feet while he subconsciously started covering his chest with his arms.
"Uh, hey come in?" He says, more like asks.
She walks in calmly and sets down a plastic bag on the table.
"So, I see you finally bagged him huh?" She asks calmly as Jackson is having a mental break down.
"I uh, well I. God damnit." He decides to just go for it and tell her the truth and hope Mark doesn't hate him for it.
"I love him, so much and I will continue to love him forever and weather or not you approve doesn't matter to me, or us. He loves me too. And we're in a relationship and if you can't accept it I'm sorry." He went from confident to complete jello as soon as he finished. He nervously awaited her reply while looking away. It wasn't until he felt those slender, lovely arms of his boyfriend wrap around his middle that he calmed down.
"He's right you know, I love him and if you want to judge me and think badly of me for it then you can do it without ever having to see me again." Jackson inhaled sharply, not really expecting Mark to say something like that but Mark just squeezed his waist and stared determinedly at his sister. She huffed with a smirk walking toward the two. Mark held on tighter and Jackson laced his fingers with Mark ready to accept whatever she was going to say to them.
She smacked them both simultaneously on the head while shaking hers.
"You know? I have to say I'm deeply disappointed." Mark wanted to protest but she shook her head while holding up her hand.
"You've had your chance to speak now let me. First of all Jackson. You do know that in all the years that you practically lived at my house playing with BamBam I knew, I could tell that you caught feelings. Yeah it started out as a little crush but I could tell by the way you looked at Mark that there was something there." She smiled shaking her head again.
"You always looked at him like he was the sun, you were angry but relieved when he was heart broken, when he was happy so we're you. I could tell his emotions ran through you. I saw you that day he was engaged, I saw how broken your heart was and trust me, it hurts to see someone you love in that much pain. Yes I always loved you as if you were my own." She pauses then looks to Mark.
"Now as for you, I don't know how and when you started noticing Jackson. I think it would be safe to assume it was when he returned. I know he took care of you after he hurt you." She gave Jackson a look as she said this.
"He showed you what it's like to be loved and cared for by someone who genuinely loves you. I always had a feeling that this might happen and frankly I'm surprised it took this long. The reason I'm disappointed is because you actually thought I wouldn't accept you, you actually thought I wouldn't want you in my life anymore and that hurt a bit but, I do understand and I forgive you." Jackson and Mark both stood there slack jawed as she moved in for a hug, neither could speak.
"As long as you love each other, and take care of each other I'm all for it. Just remember, I love you both but, Mark was in my heart first." She said giving Jackson a warning look. They all hugged for a few minutes before Mark spoke up.
"What about mom? Do you think she will accept us?" He asked meekly.
"I don't know, it took her a while and she did finally accept you being gay but this may be a shock to her system. Just be gentle with her and she'll come around." He just nods and kisses her on the cheek.
"Thank you for everything and also I'm really sorry we attacked but we or at least I was scared. I never want to lose you, ever but I love Jackson so much and I want to be with him for as long as he'll have me, which I hope is a very long time." He says smiling at Jackson.
"Forever?" Jackson asks.
"Not long enough." Mark responds only to hear his sister making gagging noises. They both get a good laugh at her expense and the mood has lightened quite a bit.
"That's enough of that cheesy shit now, I brought food let's eat and you can spill what you know about this Yugeom kid."
They both laugh at her and tell her everything they know, that BamBam wouldn't be mad about of course.

OK, I did it finally! I'm sorry for neglecting this book but I just got into a huge slump, then started getting into other ships as well and completely lost track of this. I will not make any promises for updates but I am determined to finish this at some point.
Thank you for over 3k reads! I can't believe it but I'm so thankful. Thank you to those of you who have stuck around, and actually want more! ❤️ love you all.
